Third party interest in Pillar 2 Exemptions (Commission)
Dear Secretariat General of the European Commission,
- All correspondence - including attachments - and subsequent meeting notes - between the Commission (not including DG COMP) and third-parties, in which the topic of the exclusion of domestic and foreign profits of US-parented multinational groups from the scope of 'Pillar Two' of the OECD-G20 global minimum corporate tax framework - is mentioned or discussed. I am interested in correspondence between January 2024 and today.
By third-parties, I refer to stakeholders that are not part of the European Commission (e.g. private companies, consultancies, trade groups, think-tanks, etc.).
Yours faithfully,
Alessandro Runci

TAXUD Access to Documents
Dear Secretariat General of the European Commission,
Please pass this on to the person who reviews confirmatory applications.
I am filing the following confirmatory application with regards to my access to documents request 'Third party interest in Pillar 2 Exemptions (Commission)'.
I am asking for a review of the decision by the Commission to deny partial access to the documents falling under my request - while I recognise that information that relates to individual member states' decisionmaking should be protected, there is an overriding public interest in confirming whether or not there have been efforts by non-EU companies to influence the decision making process around pillar 2 exemptions and in what way they have engaged TAXud. The exemption could have significant consequences for the EU's tax regime, and the broader G7 exemption has received scrutiny in countries both in and outside of the EU (reflecting the serious public interest). While I understand no final decision has been made, it should still be possible to make public whether foreign companies are seeking to influence this decision making, and in what manner, without disclosing the intent of the Commission. I am therefore asking you to review the initial denial of access to documents.
Yours faithfully,
Alessandro Runci
